University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler says his school needs to do a better job of training its student-athletes on sexual assault and harassment issues because something isn't getting through. In an interview published Saturday in the St. Paul Pioneer Press in the wake of the football team's sexual assault scandal, Kaler said student-athletes are already getting strong guidance on dealing with those issues. All University of Minnesota students go through sexual assault-awareness education after enrolling that includes an online assessment and interactive presentations. The school's roughly 750 student-athletes are also exposed to additional training and education conducted internally and through visiting presenters every year. if these findings are reinforced during the appeals process, then we didn't have sufficient training or we didn't have sufficient oversight," Kaler said.
